The man who refused a job on the buses in Bristol - which sparked the Bristol Bus Boycott and the subsequent raft of equalities legislation - has finally received an apology in writing from the city.
The letter of apology has been written by the Lord Mayor of Bristol to Guy Reid-Bailey, almost 60 years after a council-owned bus company boss lied to him and said there were no jobs available on the buses, back in 1963.
The apology has been made alongside another move by civic leaders in Bristol in 2022 - bestowing Freedom of the City status on Mr Reid-Bailey and five other leaders of the Bristol Bus Boycott, although four of the six have since passed away.
